THE boom wave which swept over
Kansas has beeen succeeded by q
healthier and more durable .eondi-
ton Of prosperity. Few, II any, Of
the cities which we're "boOmedn

vas deemed an unhealthy growth
Property prices which were in any
way reasonable have not gone back,
which shows that the various boom
ing eities were not ahead Of the
country. Business continues good
In most Of these places. ana is only
affected as business all over the land
is affected by the stringency Of the
money market prevailing. Kansas
Is really much more prosperous nov
than she was a twelve month ago,

understand what is in store for her
and keep branching out with theiI
lines in all directions. They srS

Is but in its infancy. The eominl
